| 355067 | 2005-05-14 10:02:00 | hhhmm i had a good go at this, i gave up at the end, an serial external modem will work with straight away with no problems. | Prescott (11) | ||
| 355068 | 2005-05-14 10:03:00 | The first port of call is Linmodems (linmodems.org) and download the scanModem (http:) program. Running this will give you some suggested drivers that may make your modem work under linux. | Simply_Si (354) | ||
| 355069 | 2005-05-14 13:35:00 | scanmodem says both are conexant so thats stink as, thers only that linuxant which costs like $25.. and i tried to install the 14.4k version it opens up in konqorer thingee and then i click install with yast, it goes in i click install, then it says cannot find package on medium.. it would help if the "Install from this directory in Yast" button wasnt grayed out... |

| 355070 | 2005-05-15 02:35:00 | What type of package did you download? Is it one of the rpm.zip files or the .run type? If you have downloaded the zip you will need to gunzip/ark it prior to installing. The .run file is an installation script and will need to be run from the terminal as root with the ./ before it. You may already have installed it, but there is an rpm installer for konqueror which from memory is kconfigure. This might help a bit in the future. |

| 355071 | 2005-05-15 02:42:00 | I've had the same problem with a Lucent Winmodem. Have just installed Mandrake 10.1 and got the system going. Printer was fine but struck problems with the modem. This morning, I went out to the shed and rescued an external modem from the dusty shelf. That is now working fine | Hhel (8073) | ||

Um yea its a rpm file i unzipped it in windoes got the rpm, booted into suse, opened in konquerer and press insatll in yast tried to install it but yea it just says cant find package on medium in yast and the Install from this directory in Yast button dont work, and i dont seem to be able to find anything else to install it with... i dont know about kconfigure cant really find it/see it... i downloaded another conexant driver thingee found the scripts and ran them in konsole using the sh command (i dont know what im doing really) it finds the hsf modem i say yes install driver, it then says cannot find @HSFINFDIR@ bla bla bla cannot find the inf files tho they are all there in a inf folder. i even tried copying them all to every other directory and tried renamin inf to HSFINF and others and i just cannot get it going.... i dont know what to do |
